General Leang Enabled; AI can't build using her in skirmish

[Mishkin]

HI,
I'm a new member to the forums and deezire.net, I liked Generals a lot, and I loved Zero Hour even more. So, I decided to start learning to mod. I know some basic stuff, like how to change unit weapons, skins, locomotor, and some other stuff.

I enabled General Leang by going into PlayerTemplate.INI and copying the whole General Leang paragraph, and then renaming it to LeangGeneral. It looks like she is all done, since when you load up the skirmish game, it told you everything about her pros/cons. The developers already did her, they only didn't include her in the selection.

Well, my question is this, when I was General Leang in skirmish, and the AI was too, he didn't build anything. Can anybody tell me how to fix this problem? I think it's because no info is specfied for her in skirmish.

Thank you all, and please don't start cussing at me and calling me a n00b, after all ,sometime ago you were too.

We refer to noobs as the people that spam and demand things. We werant all noobs, most of us were newbies, and you seem to be off to a good start.

Anyways, yeah it won't work cause the games doesn't have any scripts for it.

You can make them with world builder, though i don't know how.

Someone will though.

Thanks Opals25!

Yes, somebody probably will make the scripts for it in the world builder.

P.S. So, does the famous Deezire ever look at the forums? (stupid question probably, lol)

[Opals25]

Actually yes he does, and he posts a everyonce and awhile to. lol.

[Mishkin]

Cool, do you think you can help me out on my Marauder question? (New Topic)

[Opals25]

Probably not. I am new to INIs to, and I am usually in with Graphics like skins and stuff.

lol, we don't call people "noob's" if they clearly didn't try. You obviously did...since you got the general working. Now, I'm not sure exactly how to get it working...but I do think the problem comes from the ai scripts.

[The_Phantastic]

we could ask panzerfather to implant his ai in her...

just a thought, if he accepts it taht would be great

[Kaldak]

its quite possible that no skermish ai was ever developed for Leang....unless i'm mistaken, she has everything already all set up in challenge mode and does no (or almost no) building herself. That could have fairly easily been done with map scripting and such without their ever really being an ai behind her. As for making one....i remember reading at one point that the only way to create a new ai is to write over one of the existing ones (there's some sort of hardcoded limit) which means you'd be sacrificing another general....in any case no sure how thats done...

[Mishkin]

I think the deal is that she has to be coded for every skirmish map. Like I know a little bit about the worlbuilder AI setup. The AI has a defense region, 2nd defense region, and an attack region or somethin like that anyways.
